Rorschach, Protected heritage municipality on Lake Constance, Switzerland
Rorschach is a town on the southern shore of Lake Constance in eastern Switzerland. Buildings from different eras stand side by side, from the old harbor to residential neighborhoods on the hills beyond.
The first written mention dates to 850, and later the abbots of St. Gallen received market rights for the area. From this period, the town grew into an important trading center on the lake.
The lakeside harbor shapes daily life and gives the town its distinctive character. Residents and visitors gather here to enjoy the waterfront and watch the activity along the shore.
Trains connect the town directly to St. Gallen and Zurich, and ferries take you across the lake to the opposite shore. Use these connections to explore the region easily or continue traveling.
An art museum featuring works connected to Hermann Rorschach reveals the town's link to the famous psychologist whose name became known worldwide through his tests. The place has kept this historical figure as part of its identity.
